He took unprovoked shots at people who like college sports. He’s a big boy. He can handle it (I guess).
No, I didn't. I have been critical of the current state of college sports. I'm far from alone. In fact, Lane Kiffin has called it a "broken system," and a "stupid system." I've not criticized the fans at all. I've said I can't relate. I've said I've been wowed by how strong the love for alma mater is to make fans overlook what I and others believe is a deteriorating product.
 
I don’t know how people can watch that Ole Miss game that was just played and then watch most NBA games and argue that the NBA is hard to watch and college basketball is a good product. The difference in product between college basketball and pro basketball is the biggest difference of any of the major 3 sports and it’s borderline unwatchable unless it’s a top 5 matchup or your laundry on the court.

A broken, stupid system doesn't mean its not still viable and still endearing. A lot of us still love it even as you subtly belittle it( and us) and sanctimoniously and self righteously follow your deteriorating product

That quote right there is part of the problem with college sports....... The NIL stuff is out of hand because there are fans actually willing to pay the athletes absurd amounts of money for them to play for their team.

In no other sport is the pull of fandom strong enough to encourage the fans to fund the players.

I've never belittled fans. I've criticized the direction of the sport(s). I'm far from alone. If that bothers you, so be it. Take your shots. I don't care. I'm not deleting them. You being upset that I enjoy the NBA cracks me up. Tonight's game was high-level. I enjoyed it. I also watched your team's game and wrote about it.

It's subtle belittlement. "How could you guys follow this ? I don't understand. It's just laundry."" While I am appreciative of the development of the players in the NBA. I'm not upset that you enjoy the NBA and don't know where you got that from. Just pointing out the hypocrisy. And you doth protesteth too much.

No, I make fun of this:

 
It baffles me the amount of people that willingly pay to be a member of this site just to criticize the owner/publisher. Go over to Chuck and David’s site if you want the Homer coverage.
I pay because there's a lot of good content here. I do reserve the right to call out stuff though.

But you're bothered that I enjoy the NBA and don't have a college team that I'm personally invested in. Just be clear. If I were a giant Ole Miss fan, you'd not take the NBA shot. It bothers you that I care more for an NBA team than any of the three universities I attended. Just admit that out loud.

Dude, you went off after a guy just said how good of a game the Thunder and Celtics played. No mention of college anything.

The NBA sucks.

They are great athletes. The are exceptionally skilled. The game sucks.

It's a deteriorating product and the numbers say so.

Yeah but his connections are vast. He could put together a pretty incredible staff I bet.

You think about someone like Hugh Freeze that almost zero contacts. And compare that to someone that has won 6 super bowls and a 30+ year elite network. Belicheck’s staff will be good.

In this fascinating NBA game, whose laundry did you pull for?

You’d have to pay me to sit still and watch that game from start to finish.

“Adult” men getting their panties all in a wad over what you watch in your free time is one of the real wonders of this site.

If you said you enjoy watching recordings of kittens being drowned you would get less pushback.

I only watch those videos to look for clues as to where the people are drowning the kittens. I'll f'll find them and bring them to justice if it's the last thing I do.

Idgaf what Neal watches. I took exception to his unprovoked shots at college sports and him basically telling fans why they watch a shitty product “that he doesn’t care about” the other night. I don’t care if he watches Keeping Up with the Kardashians on a constant loop.

Also, Neal isn’t gonna date you bro.

One of the posts you quoted just said you would have to pay him to watch a product.

How is thst getting panties wadded? Why do you care?
It’s even weirder how many people jump to his defense like a bunch of little fanboys.
It's the NMBLC.

I like the site, I like the content. The coming to the defense of NM over any perceived criticism is odd. It's the same with Chuck on the other site, to be fair though.

Why do you care so much about Neal’s opinion? You’re getting way too worked up over it.

Do you also think the college product sucks?
It's got some things that are better. There is more of a mid-range game involved in college. Every team isn't putting up 40 3's a game.

Obviously, the players aren't as skilled so all-in-all about the same level of watchability - to me - but prefer the college game. And yes, I would watch Kansas vs. Illinois before I would watch Golden St vs Houston.

Great 🔥 burn!

I don’t think that is close to what Neal said. You are just really thin skinned and a little paranoid.
